I have posted my sermon from yesterday on my sermon blog. It’s based on Matthew 23:1-12 — and entitled “Can They Do As You Do”?

Here’s a portion of it:

A young girl was visiting a church one Sunday and was impressed with the stained glass windows of the Saints that were along the walls of the church. The windows were particularly beautiful this day as the sun shone brightly through them — making their colors brilliant. She asked about who these people were in these beautiful windows — and was told these were some of the Saints of the church.
That morning in Sunday School she was asked if she knew what a Saint was. Thinking back on the bright, colorful windows that had impressed her so — and the fact that she was told these were of the Saints — she replied:
“ A Saint is someone who lets the light shine through.”
Maybe not a dictionary definition of a saint, but a good one none the less — someone who lets God’s light shine through them.
Do you do that?
Do you let the light of God shine through you?
Or — is it something else others see shining through when they look at you?
